Posted on April 5, 2012 by Jo Davies

Douglas Adams in The Hitch Hikers Guide to the Universe wrote that the answer to the ultimate question of Life the Universe and Everything was 42. I can’t help but think that life would be a great deal simpler if this was the case, however, as I have only ever found 42 to be the answer to 6 X 7, I have been studying another philosopher who professes to have developed a ‘Theory of Everything’. His name is Ken Wilber and he has spent over 40 years explaining who we are, why we are who we are and what we can do with who we are. Continue reading →

Mr Bloggs Vacation

Posted on March 26, 2012 by Yvonne Coombs

I wonder if you can recognise this person in you?

Mr Blogg often takes a holiday to the pity party at the city of regret that takes place for whoever attends.

He packs his bags of guilt, and rather than have help in transporting these bags, he carries them himself, over his shoulders, under his arms and wherever they will fit. Continue reading →

What Stops you saying NO

Posted on December 13, 2011 by Ron Gathercole

Are you always trying to please others? Do you have difficulty in saying NO to others at the expense of yourself?

 Well you certainly are not on your own there! Many of us (including me) have great difficulty in saying No to anyone; bosses, salesmen, clients, family etc.

 When you are interacting with others, sometimes you might notice that you say “Yes” and then wish you had said “No.” Somehow, you learned that it is not ok to say “No” when someone asks you to do something, even if you don’t think the request is reasonable. Continue reading →

Don’t Panic!!

Posted on November 10, 2011 by Sharon Nicholson

…. so the first thing that many people will do is to become startled when they hear this; unless you are from the UK and in my age group, in which case you may be inclined to giggle and finish the sentence with the words “Mr. Mainwaring” whilst visualising the elderly Lance Corporal Jones ineffectively rushing around. For those of you that are unaware, that is a reference to the popular seventies sitcom “Dad’s Army”.   Continue reading →

I’m not grieving, am I?

Posted on September 16, 2011 by Yvonne Coombs

Would I be wrong in saying that most of us believe that grief goes hand in hand with loss, so when we mention loss, we usually think of a death.

Because someone close to us hasn’t died recently, most of us assume that the negative feelings, thoughts and emotions that we may have, are us being weak and therefore we feel we have to ‘pull our socks up’ and get on with it. Continue reading →
